Air Fryer Okra "Fries"
I love the taste of deep-fried okra. Sometimes though, I want to limit my carbs, so I make okra "fries". They give me the flavor of fried okra, but with far fewer calories, and much less fat. Okra "fries" are a tasty snack and they can be an interesting veggie side for dinner. I love to munch them, plain, as a snack. Serve with dipping sauce of your choice.
Buffalo Shrimp
This Buffalo shrimp is the best. You can adjust the intensity of the hot sauce to your liking — we like it hot! Serve with lemon wedges and blue cheese dressing.
